Topic: More powerful soft wrap support. (Read 792 times)

I'd love slightly more powerful soft wrap support. Look at the attached screenshot from Scite. See how easy it is to identify the wordwrapping? Scite's wordwrapping respects indents, so no matter how wrapped the text gets, it's always readable.

I would deeply like that feature to exist in Slickedit.

To make it even better than Scite's, add a configurable further indent. Scite indents wrapped text by one extra indent layer - personally, I want it indented by two indents.

I'd also love the option to add wrap arrows on the left side of the wrap as well as the right, also shown in this screenshot.

// This is a long and wordy comment with a lot to say that is much longer *than the window width, so to see it all I either need to scroll left and right repeatedly *or turn on softwrap. After turnning on softwrap, the wrapped lines wrap to column 1 rather *than following the indent of the start of the line. longFunctionName((uint64)with, (uint64)several_long, parameters, (uint64) *which_also, wraps_with, softwrap_enabled, but_wraps_to_line_1); (* represents softwrap indicator at right margin of window)
